SEATTLE -- So much for the fatigue that comes with playing three games in three nights. When Washington should have been its most sluggish, it was its most impressive.

Terrence Ross scored 13 of his 24 points in the first half -- one shy of his career high -- and Washington used big runs at the end of the first half and beginning of the second to rout Portland 93-63 Monday in the final game of the World Vision Basketball Classic.

The Huskies, who were on the fringe of cracking The Associated Press Top 25 this week, closed out the three-day tournament with their most complete effort. They swarmed, flustered and ran past the young and undersized Pilots (2-1), with their sophomore swingman -- Ross -- leading the charge.

"My first shot I was open and I made it, and I felt like I could be on a roll if I hit another one, and that's what happened. I just kept shooting after that," Ross said.

Washington (3-0) got a scare from Florida Atlantic in the second game of the four-team event, holding on for a 77-71 victory. There was no such challenge from Portland. They put to rest any concern about this one with an 11-2 spurt to close the first half, then started the second by scoring 14 of the first 17 points to push the lead to 31 barely five minutes in.

Ross was right in the middle of both. He nailed consecutive 3-pointers the close the first half, then added an alley-oop dunk as the highlight of Washington's spurt to start the second half.

Ross made 9 of 13 shots, including six 3-pointers, as the Huskies finished with six players in double figures. But Ross was more proud of his effort on the defensive end as he held Portland's leading scorer, Nemanja Mitrovic, to 2-of-9 shooting and just five points.

"I don't know if I've been more proud of someone on the defensive end more than Terrence Ross," Washington coach Lorenzo Romar said.

The Pilots, who started four freshmen and saw another three play off the
bench, showed plenty of fatigue on the final day of the tournament.
Portland was led by Tim Douglas, who scored 17 points, but the Pilots
shot just 34 percent and made 4 of 19 3-pointers. Already down 20 at
halftime, Portland missed six of its first seven shots to begin the
second half and committed five turnovers as the Huskies turned the game
into a rout.

Ryan Nicholas had nine points and 10 rebounds for Portland, but Mitrovic
struggled and the rest of Portland's infant lineup couldn't help out.

"I am really pleased with our play. We are a young team and I thought we
competed and rebounded well tonight. It is a great experience for us,"
Portland coach Eric Reveno said. "If we can keep improving and
eventually get to a point where we can come in and beat a team like
Washington at home, we will be pretty happy. That is our long-term
goal."

While Ross was blazing from the outside, some of the more impressive moments for Washington came from freshman guard Tony Wroten. One of the more heralded recruits in Romar's tenure, Wroten finished with 11 points, six assists, five rebounds and a pair of moments to add to his career highlights -- which are only beginning.

His first came on a fast break shortly after he entered early in the first half. In transition, Wroten drove to the edge of the key, faked passing to the perimeter and finished off a smooth left-handed layup. Later in the half, Wroten slipped backdoor along the baseline, caught a perfect lob from Abdul Gaddy and dunked on Mitrovic's head while being fouled.

Of course, there were still some bumps in Wroten's all-around effort. He was just 1 of 7 from the free-throw line, missing his first five attempts and getting a rousing cheer from the home crowd when he made the sixth. He also got a stern lecture from Romar after a shoddy defensive possession.

"It was about having more pride. I let my man score more than once. He knows I'm one of the best defenders on the team, and for someone to score more than once on me, he's disappointed," Wroten said. "He just brought me to the side and said, 'Take pride and D him up.'"

C.J. Wilcox added 17 points on the day he was named Pac-12 player of the week, following games of 22 and 19 points to begin the season. Seven-footer Aziz N'Diaye scored 11 on the interior, while Gaddy had 15 points, five rebounds and five assists in his third game back after a serious knee injury in January.

The game was Romar's 300th since taking over at Washington before the 2002-03 season. He is now 198-102 at the school and has 291 wins in his coaching career at Pepperdine, Saint Louis and Washington.
